AGHP is a coalition of dozens of representatives of the variety of stakeholders involved in short-term global health engagements. These individuals represent various organizations and entities from around the world.

This coalition started on the sidelines of a Consortium of Universities of Global Health (CUGH) conference in Washington, DC, in 2017. Since that time there have been periodic meetings that have led to the name and current leadership of AGHP.

The leadership team and the larger group form a ‘coalition of the willing’ concerned about ethical engagements in global health.
